Washington Commanders vs. Bengals odds and prop bets for Week 3

The Washington Commanders close out the Week 3 schedule with a nationally televised game at the Cincinnati Bengals. This might be against a team that has yet to taste victory over their opening two contests. However, this is not going to be a walk in the park for Dan Quinn's men.

Cincinnati has enough talent to go deep into the postseason. Zac Taylor always starts slowly as head coach before things pick up. The Commanders know this and must be prepared for a strong challenge on Monday Night Football. Anything less will come with grave consequences attached.

Quinn knows his team is far from the finished product. They got over the line in Week 2 against the New York Giants, but a much better effort is needed to get one over on the Bengals. The returning Tee Higgins is another complication Washington's struggling secondary must counteract, so the primetime contest might end up being a shootout when it's all said and done.

There's just no telling what a win would do for the Commanders' chances in 2024. Whether they are capable of overcoming a strong outfit this early into their rebuild is another matter.

Jayden Daniels prop bets

All eyes will be on Jayden Daniels for his primetime debut. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft looks like the best rookie quarterback by a considerable margin so far. Washington hasn't put too much on the signal-caller's plate through two weeks. That might have to change versus the high-octane Bengals offense on the road.

Daniels will be going up against Joe Burrow, which is a battle between two former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks out of LSU. It promises to be the biggest test of the dual-threat's credentials so far, but the bright lights of Monday Night Football shouldn't phase the calm customer whatsoever.

FanDuel Sportsbook set the over/under for Daniels' passing yards in Week 1 at 195.5. This is available at -113 whichever side of the number you fancy (bet $113 to win $100). His completion marker stands at 18.5 from 29.5 pass attempts. Vegas believes the player will throw the first touchdown of his pro career, with the over for 0.5 touchdowns standing at -270 (bet $270 to win $100).
